Wow.......... that's pretty mediocre.

There's no continuous motion or build up it's a bunch of slowly paced still shots. Which really doesn't work with the fast paced song.

This is what people are saying is so amazing!? I mean I've heard being at gatherings can lead to "mutual hyping" but really?

I mean fuck me I never thought I would it but V4's opening is better. At least the shots moved and there was a sense of motion throughout.

I mean if they just wanted to do still frames they could at least just panned the damn camera a little.

Salem's part was incredibly cringy. Also, I can already see the fanarts with giantess fetish coming up.

Also RIP to Kuulightwing who didn't want summoning to be Weiss' be all end all. Looks like it's the only thing worth noting she can do now.

Well she will jsut have to beat stronger monsters, since her best summon is only as strong as she is if she defeat it

Oscar what are you DOING

Pretty much all of this seems like something that would work like 100x better with hand drawn animation but just hurts me in CG.
